# init(systemName:)

Creates a system symbol image.

## Declaration

```swift
init(systemName: String)
```

## Parameters

- `systemName`: The name of the system symbol image. Use the SF Symbols app to look up the names of system symbol images.

## Discussion

Discussion This initializer creates an image using a system-provided symbol. Use SF Symbols to find symbols and their corresponding names. To create a custom symbol image from your app’s asset catalog, use init(_:bundle:) instead.
